Description of the problem | The steering column on my 2011 sonata started making terrible noises due to a known issue with the steering shaft. Even though there is a formal nhtsa investigation nhtsa action number: pe10035) and recall (nhtsa recall no. 10v-426), the dealer (https://www. Hyundaiofchantilly. Com/service_appointment_form. Cfm) told me that i have to pay over $400 dollars to fix the $2 part that is causing this hazardous issue. I include a link to an article that describes the hazards created by this issue: https://www. Aboutlawsuits. Com/hyundai-sonata-recall-steering-problems-13090/ . How can hyundai sell such defective cars and then expect consumers to pay for the work to repair parts affected by recalls? |
